"Love was a rythm, a resonance, a reverberation. 
Love was awkward and foolish. 
It was aggressive and simple.  
And possesed of so many indefinable qualities it could never be conveyed in language.




Love is blind." - R.J. Ellroy

Miko's Birthday!!

AHA! its the day i've been waiting for.. its Miko's birthday!
I did made the Ben10 themed cake for him, it took a loooooooooot of work to get that cake done. And it was a rush too cause i have to get it done before 6pm, before Miko gets to my house. And it was all worth it :)
Baking From Scratch
Out of the oven!
Mom helping me with the fondant
The cake is done!!

He came to my house at 7-ish PM, we talked and snuggle a lot, until then the clock pointed at 11.50 PM. The taxi he called before had arrived, so i told him to go out and tell the taxi driver to wait until 12.15 AM. While he was going outside, i took the cake box out of my cupboard. Also taking out the candles and a match. And then he came into the room, we both couldn't stop smiling, i know he's so excited to see the cake, and i'm so excited to see his reaction as well!
"Okay.. so.. here's your cake.. i hope you like it hehe" *opening the box slowly
And when he saw the cake, he was like "OH MY GOD MICKEY!!! OMG!! THIS IS AWESOOMEE!!!!!", he hugged me tight so many times, also kissed me dozens of times while saying thank you. Hahaha! I can see it from his face he was so happy. He loveeess ben10, and he always wanted a fondant cake, so i could tell he must be so happy. He touched the smooth fondant surface while looking at the cake. Then a thought came into my head.. "what if he doesnt even know that this is an omnitrix.. i'll be devastated".. i gulped, then i asked him "Do you know what this is?", he answered, "OFCOURSE!!!!!! ITS AN OMNITRIX OH MY GOD MICKEY THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS IS AWESOME!" hahaha

Green-Black layers he loved
We only took a few pictures because he's pretty much in rush the cab was waiting already and he needs to get home soon cause his family is waiting for him as well. So i gave him a knife, telling him to cut a slice. He cutted a BIG slice of the cake, and when he saw the green-black layers of cake, i could tell he was amazed as well. Hahaha. I shove a big spoonfull of the cake onto his mouth lol and he closed his eyes as he chew, and with a full mouth he said "Omg Mickey this is PERFECT. I LOVE IT! Now my turn!" He fed me a biiiig spoon of the cake, the cream went allover my lips, the cake was a success. It was really good, except for the cream which i dont really like. Then he fed me another spoon of the cake and said "you must eat this Mickey! Just dont purge it okayyyy" i was a bit surprised he said that, i love how he cares so much about me.
I packed the cake in a tupperware so that it would fit in his backpack. Then after LOAAADSSS of kisses, hugs, and 'thank you's, he went home with a big grin. I love seing him that happy!

Too bad didn't manage to get the sun jar done in time, cause i haven't got the time to buy the stuffs i'll need and to put it all together. But i'll get it done soon, hope he likes it.
Well, to my dearest boyfriend, happy belated birthday. You mean the world to me. You must know how special you are, and that i'm so proud of you. Don't let anyone get you down, Miko. Whatever happens i'm with you :) i love you Miko! Happy birthday!
Look how happy this birthday boy is!

Oh! Also, thanks to Mom! She helped a lot on this cake, teaching me this and that. Without her help, the cake wont be that awesome. Thank you mommy!

Our 1st Anniversary

Me and Miko's first anniversary has came, gosh time goes by so fast. Its been a year already.
As you read in my former posts, we both had planned to bake a rainbow cake together at our 1st anniversary. Once he found the recipe, we both agree that he'll bring the butter while i provide the other ingredients for the cake. I asked him what time he'll come to my house and he replied "I'll head there around 12". It takes about 45 minutes from his house to mine, so i asuume that he'll arrive at my house around 1pm. But eventually, he showed up at 3 PM, left me almost crying waiting for him. It sucks when your boyfriend is 2 HOURS late on your 1st anniversary celebration.
But despite being pissed because his 'late-ness', everything was fun. He knocked at my window several times, and there, i saw him standing outside with his new maroon 'campus' jacket and his new tom ford spectacles. To be honest.. i was amazed. He looked really really fine that day. I waited for a moment then he came into my room, came across the bed where i was laying on and kissed me on the cheek "Happy anniversary" he said. I was about to give him the silent treatment for being late, but i always failed. I kissed him back on the cheek and replied "Happy anniversary, i love you too".
Tom Ford Specs
We started baking the cake at 7pm, while max is going tarawih, and Mom, Dante, and bude was shopping at the grocery. The recipe called for 1,5 cups of flour, and since i used a digital scale, i asked "How much is 1 cup of flour?" "225grams", he replied. While it was actually 140 grams. D'oh. Because of the wrong measurements, the batter turned out to be super sticky and heavy hahaha.
After that, we divided the batter into 5 in different bowls, and put different colorings in each bowl. This is where the fun starts! We keep on saying "Vibrant vibrant vibrant" in a funny way, and that he added so much coloring into the purple batter, it just made everything even funnier.
In doubt of the succesfullness of the  cake, we keep moving on. We layered abstractly an 18 inch round pan with the colorful batters, switching colors. Also, during the process, i accidentally cutted my thumb with a knife and burnt my finger too -_-
Ouch

Then about 45 minutes later we took the cake out of the oven and started laughing cause the cake was so hard and heavy hahaha! Despite of the failure it still looks nice though. So instead of making a new cake which will take a lot of time, we decided to make a glaze for the cake. I accidentally added too much vanilla essence into the glaze mixture so the smell was very very strong lol. We poured the glaze on top of the cake, then added some colorful sprinkles.
We brought the cake into my room and placed a small yellow candle in the middle of it. We lit the candle up, then before we blew the candle and sliced the cake, we took a picture with his polaroid camera. And also some pictures taken using his phone. He cutted a BIG slice of cake, and we could see the beautiful colors of the cake, we cant stop admiring it that i took about 6 pictures of the cake alone in various angles lol.

The rainbow cake
The cake wasnt bad.. But not that good either, it was so hard and sweet and milky that we only managed to eat half of the slice. I packed a half of the cake for him to bring home, although i doubt that he'll eat that cake again lol
Not long after that we cuddled in bed talking about things while waiting for the taxi he ordered to come. Thenn.. he went home and thats all. It was fun, SO FUN that i couldn't stop smiling before going to sleep.
What can i say? I love you Miko :)
Happy Face :D
